CLEMSON BOARD MEETS.
Fertilizer Tax Income Shows Decrease
Curtailment is Planned.
Columbia State, 15th.
Several matters of importance were
discussed at a special meeting of the
board of trustees of Clemson college,
held here last night. It was estimated
by members of the board that the rev
enue secured by the college from the
sale of the fertilizer tax will be reduc
ed by about 25 per cent. as a result of
the low price of cotton. The income
from this source last year was $265,
000, and the board expects to receive
about $200,000 this year, As a result
of th. decrease provision will be made
for a curtailment in several depart
nents to meet the decrease. The great
est reduction will occur in the public
service department of the school; the
work of the college proper will not be
affected. The board contemplated
some permanent improvements. These
.inprovements will be abandoned for
th'e present.
The question of the selection of a
ditector of agriculture, to succeed W.
X, Perkins, who resigned recently,
was cnider by the boaid. Several
=ameSwere under consideration, and
the board will make no announce
Mnent untl the new head of the depart
mnent has been selected. The name of
th4 now director will be announced
when an acceptance has been received
bythe 'board.
: A committee of the board reported
thit some progress had been made to
yard the selection of a site for the ag
rioultural experiment station in the
Pee Dee section of the State. Several
sites are under consideration and the
selection will be announced in the
near future.
Dr. W. M. Riggs, president of
Clemson, said yesterday that the an
nual report of the institution had been
tompleted and placed in the hands of
J. E. Swearingen, the State superin
tendent of education. The report will
be announced in a few days.
